Can we have some unpopular Sonic opinions?

I tried to cram in a lot, so I hope this satisfies you. :P I tried to stick to the ones that I haven't brought up quite as often, since by this point, we all know that I think IDW's storytelling is dire, SA2's story is overrated, X Eggman is an embarrassing portrayal (at least from season 2 onwards), Blaze shouldn't be handcuffed to Silver, Shadow's backstory had issues with or without the Black Arms, Neo Metal Sonic looks silly, etc. But anyway, here we go:

- Knuckles may be tricky to incorporate into plots that don't relate to Angel Island, but making him obsessed with his duties is no better than having him forget about Angel Island entirely.

- I like Marine, and never found her annoying. Oh, I understood what they were trying to do with her, but I honestly wasn't put off by her, and found her Aussie lingo more endearing if anything. Since her debut was during the period in my life where where I couldn't stand Sonic himself, I instead thought he was irritating (and hypocritical) for getting annoyed with her for doing shit he would often be guilty of.

- Silver is just as guilty of being shoehorned into games and plots as the Deadly Six are. Having more fans than the latter is irrelevant, since we're still talking about a character who constantly has to time travel in order to be present.

- Speaking of Silver, if he has to stick around, please do something different with him. They've pulled the doomed future routine multiple times now, and it's been boring every single time. I wasn't interested when it involved Iblis. I wasn't interested when it involved Knuckles drinking the edgy Kool Aid. I wasn't interested when it involved a council of dumbasses... give it a rest already.

- The Tails Doll can work as a mildly creepy thing, with maybe more to it than meets the eye when it's time for a boss fight or what have you. But the memes about him stealing your soul are just dumb, and I thought it was dumb even back in my teenage youth.

- “Eggman is supposed to be clownish!” Yeah, well he's also meant to be a genuine villain with a 300 IQ. These qualities don't have to be mutually exclusive.

- “Sonic is supposed to have attitude!” Yeah, well that's not the same thing as being an absolute cunt. Sonic was only ever meant to come off as having an edge compared to Mario. He was never meant to be a GTA-tier protagonist.

- Rouge is not a villain, and never was a villain. Literally the whole point of her role in SA2 was to reveal that she was working against Eggman and Shadow the whole time, albeit using sneakier tactics to do so. You'd think all those people who exult SA2's story would remember this, but apparently not. She barely even qualifies as an anti-hero, since aside from stealing the Master Emerald, she rarely does anything morally questionable otherwise. She's got a lot more good in her than people give her credit for.

- Captain Whisker is a better Eggman Nega than the actual Eggman Nega. And as far as robot characters in this franchise go, Johnny's design is pretty underrated.

- I don't like Iblis or Mephiles, but I DO like Solaris, and it annoys me that it was out of focus for most of the story due to all the time spent on its less interesting halves. Had they kept the backstory with the Duke and his experiments, and worked from there, I think they could have provided an interesting contrast with Chaos (since Solaris can also qualify as a monster with a sympathetic backstory) instead of recycling the surface level schtick.

- Black Doom may technically be just as bad as Mephiles, Nega, Scourge, Mimic, etc, since he's yet another villain with one-note characterization and fucked over Eggman. But because he never gained a disproportionate fandom, he doesn't annoy me to the same extent. It's easier to ignore him by comparison, and his Dr. Claw voice and face shaped like a lady's delicate part make him enjoyable to mock.

- Likewise, while Lyric is also on the same level as these other villains, it's easier to dismiss him because I was never invested in the Boom games anyway, and being an obvious alternate universe (compared to Sonic X or IDW, which retain the Modern designs and plot elements), it never had an effect on the main series. I also unironically like his design, and if nothing else, at least this snake didn't start a hypnotism fetish across the internet.

- Sally - and the rest of the Freedom Fighters for that matter - have had their importance in the franchise severely inflated. They may have been lucky to be the face of popular media (SatAM and Archie), but they're not these magnificent entities that the game characters are but a speck of dust in comparison to. Having a “legacy” doesn't make them more entitled to shit than any other character, old or new.

- Conceptually, the treasure hunting gameplay is one of the better alternate gameplay styles IMO. But it was let down in SA2 by its one track minded radar (the levels may have been big, but I don't think that would have been an issue on its own if the radar was better). If they brought it back and made it more like SA1's treasure hunting, I'd be all for it, although it would probably be better suited for a spinoff title.

- This goes for a lot of games, but when it comes to 2D, I prefer sprites over models. Not that the Rush models are bad (though the ones in Chronicles sure as fuck are), but the sprites in Mania and the Advance trilogy are just so charming and full of character.

- I actually like Marble Zone. Yeah, the level design is a bit blocky, but I love the concept of an underground temple prison, mixed with lava elements in a zone that otherwise isn't a traditional volcano level.

- I also like Sandopolis Zone. Again, completely understand why it's not the most popular zone around, but I've been a sucker for the Ancient Egyptian aesthetic since childhood (you can thank Crash 3 for that), and Act 1 is visually stunning.

- I prefer the JP soundtrack for Sonic CD over the US version overall... but I also prefer Sonic Boom over You Can Do Anything.

- SA2's soundtrack isn't bad by any means - I love Rouge's tracks, and The Last Scene is one of my favourite pieces of music - but as far as variety goes, it's a step down from SA1's soundtrack.

- If Sonic X-Treme had been released, it probably would have been unenjoyable and confusing. Whatever your thoughts on SA1, it was probably the better option between the two as far as Sonic's first legitimate translation into 3D goes.

- I have no qualms with Modern Sonic and the other Modern designs and characters, but I also fully acknowledge that changing gears from Adventure onwards - and doing it with a great amount of fanfare - was always going to create one of the biggest divides in the fandom, and fans shouldn't act surprised that this happened. The fact that they felt the need to hype up a new design and direction in the first place (compared to Mario, who has mostly been the same since the beginning, with only the occasional minor change with little fanfare) also indicates that they weren't confident enough in Sonic and his universe being the way it was, which often gets ignored by all the “SEGA have no confidence!!!” complaints you see with their recent games.

- Unleashed did not deserve the incredibly harsh reviews it received back in the day... but it doesn't deserve its current sacred cow status either. It had more effort put into it than '06 to be sure, and I can respect that, but much of it was misguided effort, and even if you like the Werehog, you have to admit that the idea came at the absolute worst time. The intro cutscene may be awesome, as is the Egg Dragoon fight, but 2% doesn't make up the entire game. Chip was also quite annoying, and I wasn't particularly sad when he pressed F in the chat at the end.

- On the other hand, while Colours definitely has its shortcomings, and people have every right to criticse those shortcomings, a lot of its most vocal detractors tend to have a stick up their arse about the game because people actually enjoyed it, and it had a gimmick that people actually liked. Yes, it may have been the first game to have those writers everyone hates, but then SA1 was the first game to give the characters alternate gameplay styles and have other villains upstage Eggman, so...

- Forces is absolutely not on the level of '06. It's nowhere close. A game being flawed does not make it the next '06, clickbait YouTubers. Or should I say, the game they want to retroactively apply '06's reception to, since they've been trying hard to magically retcon '06's own quality...

- To echo @beevean, ALL of the 3D stories have their issues. SA1 is probably the most well-rounded of them on the whole, but even that one isn't perfect.

- To echo another opinion, although I do love SA1, I'm not crazy over the idea of a remake, and would prefer them to just take Sonic's gameplay from SA1 and work from there. Because with a remake, you're stuck in a hard spot: Do you keep it the way it is bar the expected graphical upgrades, and risk accusations of not doing anything to actually improve the experience? Or do you try to address past criticisms, and risk the wrath of the fans who will inevitably go on a #NotMyAdventure crusade about it? What people fail to consider is that the Crash and Spyro remakes were accepted gracefully because their original iterations were still unanimously beloved for the most part, whereas SA1 - and especially SA2 - have always been divisive, and have only gotten moreso over the years.

- People take their preferences for the character's voice actors too seriously. I have my own favourites like anyone else, but I don't make a big deal out of it.

- And with fandom voice actors, they usually focus too much on doing a basic impression of their preferred official voice actor, and not enough on the acting. So you end up getting a lot of fan voices who sound like decent impressions of Ryan Drummond or Jason Griffith on the surface, but they sound utterly empty beyond that impression, because there's no oomph or depth to the actual emotions. They think about the actor rather than the character, when it should really be the other way around.

- The thing with Ian Flynn is that he is capable of telling a decent story, and he can portray some characters well. But he's proven time and time again that everything will go off the rails if he's given too much freedom (ironic, given how quick he is to point the finger at mandates when something goes wrong).

- Ian Flynn and Shiro Maekawa are not the only people in the world who are allowed to write for Sonic. I understand that one should be cautious when seeking out new writing talent, but for all the fandom's accusations of playing it safe, they sure aren't in a rush to experiment outside of their own comfort zone.

- And of course, the big one: You don't fix the franchise's current problems by crawling back to its previous problems. It's much more helpful and constructive to discuss the good and bad alike with each of the games. Less “THIS GOOD, MODERN BAD”, and more “This could work, but maybe without that part...”

That Makes Us Two Chapter 1: Switched

Switched Bodies AU ShadAmy Boom!:

Shadow and Amy hate each other, but if they want to get their bodies back, they must first embark on a mission together.

Can love repair the circumstances that were broken by hate?

Life was completely normal for Amy Rose. As normal as it can get when you have to defeat evil every day.

Fighting robots, villains, mostly destroying Eggman's plan. Yes, everything was going as usual in Hedgehog Village.

"Can't we do something else?"

Amy sighed as she looked to her Meh Burger.

"What do you mean?" Tails asked as he took a bite of his burger. "Don't you guys ever wonder where the meat we eat comes from? I mean, we are animals after all-"

"I mean we just do the same thing over and over again! We wake up, fight some villains, come to Meh Burger, repeat" Amy interrupted Tails as she looked to her teammates.

"Well, Ames, that's what we do. We are heroes and Tails that's actually a pretty good question, where does the meat come-"

"So we are bound to do this forever?"

Amy looked at Sonic who was now concentrating on his burger, too focused to figure out the mysteries behind it.

Sticks took a sip of her juice as she looked at Amy and with a burp, she added, "That's what the government what's you to do."

"If you don't feel like being a hero, then why don't you take a vacation?", Knuckles said.

"Knuckles we know that you may not have the brightest mind, but you may just have made a breakthrough!"

"Um, thank you?"

Amy stood up from her seat with a victorious smile on her face.

"I'll take a vacation!"

And so she desired, and so that became. Everyone on team Sonic agreed that Amy deserved a vacation away from all the fighting. Now, Amy was headed to do one of the things she liked the most...Archeology. According to her research, there was a cave on the outskirts of the city that may have important information about the 'Ancients'. The old civilization was well known for its technological advances. However, one day the entire civilization disappeared without any clues.

and this cave might just have the answers to that.

Amy was well prepared, lanterns, proper clothing, and equipment around her waist. It seemed like the lanterns weren't going to come in handy as the cave contained some purple markings that lighted the entire cave properly.

As she made her way through, she found a larger purple rock. It was the size of her hand and to her surprise, it was pretty light. She continued to appreciate the beauty of the gem and as she did, she noticed there was something engraved on it.

It was written in the Ancient language but she had a pretty good knowledge of it to know the meaning of the words.

"If in front of me war unfolds, I'll curse both until love is found."

Amy gave it a thought. Just what could this mean? She was deep in thought and she didn't notice someone approaching her.

"What in the name of Chaos are you doing here?!"

Amy was startled by the voice behind her. She dropped the purple gem, and it broke into five different pieces.

She turns around to find no other than Shadow the Hedgehog, Team Sonic's number one enemy standing right in front of her.

And he didn't look happy at all.

"YOU BROKE THE GEM, YOU IDIOT!", Shadow yelled at her and like hell was Amy was gonna let him have his way.

"YOU APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE WITH YOUR GLOOMY FACE AND EXPECT ME NOT TO HAVE A REACTION?!" Amy yelled back at him, angry that Shadow had made her drop an important piece of her research.

"WELL, I EXPECT MY HOUSE TO BE FREE FROM PINK PESTS LIKE YOU!" Shadow walked closer to Amy and as the argument got more heated, they failed to realize that they were both stepping on the four remaining of the purple gem.

"YOUR HOUSE? WELL MR, I MUST SAY THAT YOU SENSE OF FASHION IS TOTALLY OUTDATED!"

"YOU LITTLE BRAT-"

Without knowing, the remaining of the purple gem began to glow at fast speed.

There was nothing the hedgehogs could do and the next second, they were both surrounded by the light coming from those four pieces of the purple gem.

It was just too bright...too blinding.

and then everything became black.

It must be around night time because Amy couldn't find any light source coming from outside the cave. Good to know that at least Shadow didn't murder her. Her body felt heavier than ever.

Also, she felt cold.

Around her chest area and her legs. Wait, what?

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!?"

Amy screamed on top of her lungs, expecting the worse. She was terrified but she was more scared at the fact that her voice didn't sound like the usual.

She looked at her hands, which were more bigger now. Bandages, a lot of bandages around her hands, covering her black fur. She touched her chest expecting something round and soft; only to find a firm, sculpted, more mainly one. White chest fur covering it.

And oh god those horrible, outdated fashion shoes.

Oh, Chaos.

"I AM AN EMO!"

As if the first scream wasn't good enough to wake him up, now the second one certainly did.

He moved his head to where the screaming was coming from.

Not believing his eyes, he rubbed his eyes one, again and again just to confirm what his eyes were telling him.

He looked at himself really quick, pink and pin everywhere.

Boots, clothing, fur...

"I am an oaf!"

"Hey, I heard that!"

Shadow stood up from the ground as he approached Amy.

"Who's the fault is it that we are on this mess?", Shadow said with a hiss.

"Do you think I like this? Look at me! I am you!" Amy looked at Shadow's body once more showing a disgusted look.

"AND I AM YOU!"

"AND WHO'S FAULT IF THAT!?", Amy got closer to Shadow ready to get into hand-to-hand combat.

"If you hadn't broken that gem, we wouldn't be on this mess!"

"Well if you hadn't scared me then we wouldn't-"

Amy stopped midtrack as she realized that the five remaining pieces of the Purple Gem were gone. "The broken pieces of the gem...they are gone!"

Shadow turned to his previous spot to confirm her words and she was right indeed.

"Breaking the Gem must have caused us to switch bodies...maybe if we put the gem back together, we can undo this!" Amy said as touched the ground, making sure that there were no fragments of the purple gem hidden under it.

"HEY, DON'T DO THAT! THOSE GLOVES WERE HANDMADE!"

Amy frowned and game Shadow a 'really?' look. The look had triggered Shadow, didn't she know that her face was annoying enough?

Wait, no that's his own face.

"Seems like we are going to be hanging out for a while now," Amy said sarcastically.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't mop the floor with you."

"One, you don't have a floor, you live in this cave. Second, you NEED ME to be able to get your body back. Want to mop the floor with me? Fine, at the end of the day it's your body who you are harming."

"You have no idea how much I despise you right now" Shadow had to admit that this moment was uncomfortable. He was threatend his ownself while looking all...small and cute. This body of hers, it felt weird enough.

"The feeling is mutual, Shadow"

Shadow sighed, defeated. "Fine, we find the missing broken pieces of the Purple Gem, put them back together and we get our bodies back...after that, I never want to see your face ever again."

"and we shall never see each other again," Amy repeated, confirming what Shadow had said. She pulled out her hand expecting Shadow to shake it on agreement.

He pulled out his hand, ready to shake Amy's hand but as soon as he held it; an electric shock ran through both of their bodies. The electric shock made both their bodies jump to opposite sides of the cave.

Just what in Chaos had happened?

Shadow looked at his hand. He noticed that the bandages that were covering Amy's clothes were now gone due to electric shock. Her golden rings seemed a bit scratched but her glove was completely gone. He noticed that the shock had made a weird engraving on her hand that for sure would heal into a scar.

If Shadow didn't know better, he would think that the scar had a moon shape.

"Hey, Amy...", Shadow said now in a more serious tone.

"Yeah, I see it too...the engraving on my hand looks like a circle," Amy said lost in thought. "Wait, how do you know my name?"

"It's probably meant to symbolize a sun, mine looks like a moon." Shadow ignored her question. Actually, there was a story on how he found out her name, but he didn't feel like telling her that embarrassing story just yet.

Amy got close to Shadow and looked at Shadow's hand.

"It looks like a banana," Amy added.

"What kind of bananas do you eat?"

"Anyway, doesn't it hurt? My body has always been delicate when it comes to injuries." Amy added.

"Of course not, I am the ultimate life form, this is nothing to me-"

Oh, but he was wrong. He wasn't the ultimate life form no more. His body now belonged to Amy and he was trapped inside of her. He wanted to scream, yell but his pride got the better of him. But he couldn't hold it for too long. Now he felt it...a lot and a lot of...pain.

"SON OF A-"

Sonic couldn't go to sleep. After all, he hasn't heard anything from his girlfriend in three days and he was starting to get worried.

Did he say, girlfriend? He meant to say Amy, yes, Amy.

He wanted to give her her space but she promised to let him know if she was alright just so he could be at rest.

But she didn't do it.

Amy went for a vacation for a week on the last three days of her trip she hasn't communicated to him nor anyone on Team Sonic.

And so, Sonic decided to look for her.

He looked everywhere she could, the beach, museums, important historical places but nothing.

He checked everywhere but the cave he was about to go into.

"I am also hungry, I've never felt this way! I am...I am starving, I need food!"

Sonic could swear that the voice he heard was Amy. But damn, since when did Amy speak like that?

He walked a bit more, letting the purple engravings of the cave light his path.

"I have dried meat on my bag"

Hold on a second...was that Shadow's voice?

"Oh Chaos no, I am vegetarian! Do you have any idea where does the meat you eat comes from?" Shadow said to Amy with a disgusting look. Before this could turn into a fight, Shadow and Amy looked towards the end of the cave just to see the blue blur standing right in front of them.

"Sonic!"

Amy was so glad to see him she wanted to run and hug him but knew it was impossible as long as she was in Shadow's body.

"Amy, what's going on? Why is Shadow here with you?", Sonic questioned as he gave Amy a nasty look. Sonic walked close to Shadow unaware that it was him due that Shadow had switched bodies with Amy.

Sonic placed a hand on top of Shadow's head, he looked into the pink fur, making sure there were no injuries.

"Touch me again and I'll bite your hand off," Shadow said and Sonic was taken back by this, still not believing his ears. "What did you say, Amy?"

"We are here because I am a creep and I just wanted to scared this pretty little girl hahaha!", Amy had now broken the tension between the two. She thought that being trapped inside Shadow's body would make it easy to impersonate him, but it seems like she needs more practice than that.

"Well, get lost Shadow! I am here to protect Amy! And if you don't like that, I am gonna have to fight you." Sonic said he put Shadow behind him.

"Oh no, please! Have mercy! Please take this beautiful hedgehog away before I pass on my gloominess into her!"

Shadow was having none of this crap. Amy was using his body to play jokes on him. Well jokes on her, two can play the same game.

"Actually, Sonic, there's something I've been wanting to tell you.", Shadow said with a teasing voice.

"What is it, Ames?"

"Sorry I never told you this but...I am in love with Shadow"

"WHAT?!"

"WHAT?"

Both Amy and Sonic yelled in unison. Shadow walked up to Amy who had a priceless expression. Even if Amy's face was his own, he had to admit that it was pretty comical.

"Yes, he is just so strong and way cooler than you!"

"Wait, not Sonic, it's not true, he, I am she is lying!", Amy tried to explain but Sonic had that look that Amy knew very well. He had heard enough and he wasn't going to listen to reason.

"I see...then, I'll leave you two alone."

And so, Sonic began to walk away. It took Amy everything to not stop him and tell him the truth. But knowing Sonic, she knew that he was going to take the wrong way. After all, you don't switch bodies every day.

After Sonic left, Amy turns to see Shadow smirking. Oh, how she wanted to wipe off that stupid smile but she stopped herself as she didn't want to leave a mark on her on the face.

"You will pay for this Shadow the Hedgehog!", Amy threatened him.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to pay all of it...every single one of them," Shadow said sarcastically.

"You are such a jerk! I am sure you can't even stand yourself!"

"You are right I can't stand myself and neither do you and according to math...that makes us two."

First Impressions Pt.8

First Impressions Pt. 8

ShadAmy Boom!

Shadow couldn’t get a wink of sleep. His mind was somewhere else, he had conflicted feelings about everything. Amy, Sonic, and of course, the thought he was no longer the ultimate life form, now that his immortality was gone.

“Hey, Shadow are you awake?”- Shadow slowly opened his eyes and pretend to be asleep as he notice Amy leaning over him, covering the sunlight away from his eyes.

“What do you think?”- Shadow said, sounding sarcastic as he stood up. He notice that most villagers had already woken up and continue on working with building up again the village and their homes.

“Are you alright?”- Amy asked

“Yes, I am”- Shadow responded and he saw how Amy got close to him, putting one hand on his forehead trying to see if he a high temperature. Shadow could smell Amy’s scent, he never thought about it, but she did had a very addictive smell, it was hard to describe but it was making him want to get closer to her.

“Ah, may be you just need something to eat”- Amy said as she pulled away.

“I don’t need to eat, you know that”

“You still get hungry tho, here eat my protein bar”- Amy said as she handed over Shadow the protein bar.

“No, you eat”

“I already ate one”

“I know you are lying”

Amy stood quiet, Shadow saw sadness in Amy’s face. He then took the protein bar, open it and broke it in half, he instantly ate his half and the other one he gave it to Amy. And there it goes again, Amy smile as she grabbed her part of the bar. Shadow looked away, trying to hide his emotions that were showing in his face.

“Where’s your boyfriend?”-Shadow asked, remembering again to himself that Amy was already taken.

“Sonic? He went to try and find some fruits for the villagers.”

Deep down, Shadow wanted to hear Amy say something like “no way, he is not my boyfriend” but this time, she just accepted it, honestly that bother him. “tsk, he is supposed to take care of you and he leaves you here?”

“What?”

“Hey guys! We are back!”

Amy and Shadow turned around and notice Tails who was carrying a backpack, Sticks and Knuckles weaving and approaching them.

“Well, this is new, how is the couple doing?”- Sticks said as she sat next ti Amy.

“What?”

“Come on Amy, no need to be shy, we can tell from a far that you two are REALLY close~”- Knuckles said as he sat down next to Shadow.

“Close? I think the only real couple here is Amy and I”

Everyone was surprised at Sonic’s sudden appearance, he sat down next to Amy, putting his arm around her shoulders, making it clear who was the real couple in the gang.

“What? Really?!”- Sticks said leaning over by the sudden surprise.

“Sonic I am so proud, but I think I have something important to say”- Tails said.

“Well, what do you have?”- Sonic said.

“I found a way to defeat Lyric”

“WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!”-Everyone yelled at him.

“I really wanted to see if Shadow and Amy were a couple-”

“OK BUT NOW CONTINUE WITH YOUR PLAN”-Sonic interrupted, not wanting to hear Amy and Shadow’s name in the same sentence with the word “couple” in it.

“ok here is the plan...you know, now that Lyric is immortal, we can’t defeat nor destroy him”- Tails began

“Yeah, what about it?”- Shadow asked.

“However, we can in fact, stop him for all eternity, how you make ask? Easy, we are going to freeze him!”- Tails said as he pulled out a small technological looking like gun, from his backpack.

“I present you, the ultimate freezing gun, the FG-2000! We just one shot, we can freeze Lyric for all eternity. Lyric commands all the army of robots, however if there’s no one to give them commands, then they won’t do anything! After we freeze Lyric, we can just put him back where he belongs”- Tails finished as with a victory smile.

“Everything sounds good Tails, but how are going to get close enough to Lyric if he has an entire army of robots on his command?”- Sticks asked.

“I also have a plan for that...listen closely...”

It took a while for Tails to explain the plan, after some improvements were made, they were all ready to perform their plan.

“Sonic, is Sonic the Hedgehog here?!”

All of the gang then stood up and saw a very paranoid Orbot approaching them.

“Orbot? What are you doing here? You are with Eggman! An enemy!”- Sonic said looking straight up at Orbot.

“You don’t understand, Lyric reveal against Eggman, all of his robots are now under his command....even Cubot”- Orbot said with a sad tone on his voice. Everyone notice his sincere feelings and hot closer to him.

“What happened to Eggman?”- Shadow asked.

“He’s under Lyric’s mind control... and I really need your help”

“How we know you are not under his mind control too!”- Knuckles asked, having conflicted feelings about the situation.

“I am not! You can even run on test on me to prove it! I am not mind control!”

“What do you need us for?”

“Cubot is still at Eggman’s base...I want to get him back!

“Its too dangerous, Eggman’s base is infested with Lyric’s robots”- Sonic said as he turn around.

“Sonic! He needs us!”- Amy said grabbing Sonic’s by the arm.

“We are at war Amy, our people need us here and we have to stick to our plan, we can help him once he defeat Lyric”- Sonic said and he grabbed Amy’s hand with his.

“It will be too late for him! Lyric will destroy him, please...you have to help me”- Orbot was desperate, he wanted to do anything if order to save his friend.

“Please Sonic... help him”- Amy looked at him with pleading eyes, and Sonic had nothing else but to sigh.

“Fine...But I will go alone” with Orbot- Sonic said.

“What? Are you crazy?”- Tails was preoccupied, he didn’t want his bestfriend to be in danger.

“No, it will be faster this way, and besides you all need to keep the village safe, Lyric is closer than we thought...Sticks, please go back to the bunker and take care of the elderly, Tails before leaving run a quick test on Orbot so we know he is not under mind control, Knuckles protect the outsides of the village in case Lyric wants to attack, Shadow and Amy, help the villagers build their homes and find more water and food for them.”- Sonic said taking his role of the leader. Nobody questioned his words and everyone began working. Sonic saw Amy’s worried face and gently took one of her hands and place it on his cheek.

“I’ll be back soon, you won’t even miss me”- Sonic said smiling to her.

“...I miss you already”

“Sonic, I just scanned Orbot and he seems to be fine, you both can go now”- Tails said and Orbot approached Sonic.

“We will be taking off now...I’ll be back by dinner!”

And with that said, Sonic carried Orbot and headed towards Eggman’s base.

“Stop worrying too much about Sonic....”- Shadow said looking at Amy. They were both in the woods, trying to find whatever it was eatable, by now, they had some coconuts and banana but it wasn’t enough.

“How can’t I not worry? He is my boyfriend after-all...”- Amy began.

“Tsk”

Amy heard Shadow mumble something under his breath and it was weird for him to be acting this way.

“Are you alright? You have been weird since the morning”

“No, its just you that having a new partner makes you think things that are not”

“Are you saying that I am acting different because I am dating Sonic?”

“No, I am saying that you are different because-”

“Sonic!”

Shadow was cut off by Amy’s sudden move, as the blue hedgehog was coming over, a weird expression on his face.

“So-Sonic?”- Amy asked, however Sonic didn’t even flinch and ignore Amy, he went straight up to Shadow. This surprised the dark hedgehog, he wondered what had of happened to the blue hedgehog that made him act this way.

“What happened?”- Shadow asked. Sonic then suddenly grabbed Shadow by the neck and quickly punched him in the face. Shadow then quickly kicked him the face. They began fighting and their hits could be heard all the way to the village.

“STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!”- Amy yelled at them, she had no other choice but to intervene, she pulled out her hammer and aimed towards Sonic, he received a hard hit on the head however, this made Sonic turn around and with his super speed, Sonic grabbed Amy’s hammer and pushed her away, making her fall to the ground. He then use the hammer and punch Shadow in the face, making him stumble and laid his back on a tree. He took this chance, as he turn the hammer around so the helve of it could face Shadow, and with an incredible force and without hesitation, Sonic stabbed Shadow straight to the middle of his chest. Shadow spilled blood immediately, he grabbed the hammer’s helve and try to push it away, but as he did that Sonic would put the helve inside of Shadow’s chest even more.

“SONIC STOP PLEASE, I BEG YOU!”- Amy yelled and as he heard it, something snapped out of him. Sonic took the helve out of Shadow’s chest and throw the hammer towards Amy’s direction with no intention of hurting her and like that, he slowly walked away into the woods, disappearing once again. Amy ran towards Shadow and slowly grabbed his head and his her hands tried to stop his chest from bleeding.

“...Its no use Amy”- Shadow began.

“Shhh, don’t say anything, I am going to call Tails, he will come and-”-Amy began to turn on her communicator but Shadow stopped her and he put his hand on hers and looked at her directly.

“You were right...”- Shadow slowly began to caress Amy’s hand.

“What?” “First Impressions...They make you think wrong about a person....”

“Shadow its not the time to talk about that right now!”-Amy said already having tears on her eyes.

“The first impression I got of you was...that you were a useless, stupid little girl...but-but in reality...you..have become the only person I care about...a kind hearted girl...I am such a fool”

“Shadow....Shadow I..”

“I know....I know Amy....”- Shadow was slowly closing his eyes.

“Shadow, don’t leave me...please...”

“Be safe...And Amy...I-I lo-”

And with a trembling voice, Shadow whisper a three word sentence that only Amy Rose could hear. That day, Shadow the Hedgehog was killed by the only friend he thought he had...Sonic the Hedgehog.
